Tour itinerary
Day 01 Egyptian Museum, Saladin Citadel And Khan El Khalili
Our tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan in your Aswan day tours, to drive you to the airport, for a one-hour flight to Cairo. A happy Egypt tour guide will be waiting for you outside the arrival terminal with your name to commence your tour :
The Egyptian Museum:
The Egyptian Museum in Cairo is one of the largest museums in the world. It includes more than 120 thousand archaeological pieces on display, and the rest are in storage. The museum has two main floors, the ground floor and the first floor. On the ground floor, there are some coins and papyrus. There are also some artifacts from the New Kingdom.
These items include statues and tables. On the first floor, there are some artifacts from the dynasties 29 and 30, with some items from the tombs of the Valley of the Kings, in particular, the amazing treasure of King Tutankhamon.
There are two special rooms containing a number of mummies.
Note: the mummies’ room has a private ticket.
Saladin’s Citadel:
The Saladin Citadel is the most visited Islamic spot in Cairo. The citadel was built during the time of Saladin in Egypt (1176_ 1183). The main purpose was to defend Cairo, so it was built in a very strategic position.
During the 19th century, Mohamed Ali built his popular mosque there, which is known as Mohamed Ali mosque.
Khan El Khalili:
Khan El Khalili is the largest bazaar and market in the Middle East. It represents the market tradition that established Cairo as a major trade center. Khan was located in the middle of Cairo, and some commercial establishments were built nearby.
There is a big collection of shops, workshops, and coffee shops.
Lunch: Enjoy a delicious Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, where you can sample traditional dishes such as koshari, falafel, or grilled kebabs.
Day 02 Giza pyramids, and Saqqara
Breakfast at the hotel and start your tour :
The Giza pyramids and Sphinx: The Giza plateau is in the vast desert, the land of the dead. Guarded by the Great Pyramids and Sphinx tour, the plateau is dominated by the massive pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. To the south of the Great Sphinx lies the cemetery and Town of the Pyramids Builders.
The pyramids are indeed remarkable feats of engineering. But the question is
Why the Pyramids Were Constructed?
The pyramids were constructed in the 4th dynasty, but Giza remained important through the New Kingdom and the 3rd intermediate period.
There are so many theories about the techniques of the construction of the pyramids.
Notes: Tickets for entry inside the pyramids aren’t included.
Saqqara: Saqqara lies on the west bank of the Nile. It is a very vast burial ground, serving as the cemetery of Memphis, the first capital of Egypt. It includes the famous step pyramid of Djoser and some other mastabas.
The step pyramid complex is the oldest stone structure in history.
Some pyramids were built at Saqqara by the kings of the 5th and 6th dynasties, such as Userkaf, Unas, Pepi I, and Pepi II.
Some private tombs of the Old Kingdom were built there. The best-known tombs are those of Ti, Kagemni, Ptah Hotep, and Meruruka. Know more about this through Cairo attractions.
Lunch: Enjoy a delicious Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant.
Finally, return to Cairo airport for your flight to Aswan, and your day ends with a hotel drop-off.
